Lyrics
AIN'T IT HARD
We stand on a road that we all start on
Small and needy like you're the only one
I hope your momma loved you anyway
This is the world God made for you that day
And ain't this a hard road/we running on
In a race that no one/ has ever won
When you were a child you had childish ways
I hope your momma taught you how to pray
You had hope for the future/ thought it would turn out well
You were told about heaven and your were told 'bout hell
And ain't this a hard road/we running on
In a race that no one/ has ever won
Then another one stepped into your life
Love stuck to some/ others misery and strife
You could be rich /or you could be poor
Kept on wishing that luck would walk thru your door
And ain't this a hard road/we running on
In a race that no one/ has ever won
So your work yourself silly trying to get ahead
Suffer for the things that climb in your head
Some are defined by the work that they do
The devil tells you that you know what's true
And ain't this a hard road/we running on
In a race where no one/ has ever won
Some tear down crosses/ other's burn the books
We all looking for answers/ gotta know where to look
The world wears us down/ no grace in growing old
I hope you get wiser 'cause everyday is like gold
My race is winding down/ that's the way it should be
And when my race is done/ I hope some think well of me
And ain't this a hard road/we running on
In a race where no one/ has ever won
Lord ain't this a hard road/we running on
In a race where no one/ has ever won
